Both the individuals, joint owners, shall share cost of cquisition and sales consideration as mutually decided by them and thereafter can avail exemptions on the basis of their investment.

In the aforesaid case, Cost of Acquisition is Rs. 50,000 and Sales Consideration is Rs, 20,00,000 and the period of holding will be Oct-11 to Feb-12 i.e less than 36 months.
Hence, shoet term capital gain of Rs. 19,50,000 will arise and the same is chargeable at marginal rates applicable to Mr. X.
